First, their is apparently an optimization for OS X and broadband connections. At least Control Freak says there is. Also, the java applets at DSL reports may operate different…

Make sure to download the SAME file when you do your download test as some places have much better servers than others. I always max my 1mb/s connection when downloading stuff fro…

Try changing the MTU from 1500 to 1492. You will find this setting in your Network pref panel under Ethernet. (Change Automatic to Manual first).

DSLReports.com has a "tweaks" forum that can help you out immensely. Basically, most computers don't come out of the box optimized for any broadband service, so you have to make a…

I have been looking around for a good recent tutorial on setting up an anonymous ftp account in panther. I have tried a few of the old jaguar tutorils without success. Could anyone…

Go to Sharing in your System Prefs. Click the checkbox to turn on FTP. Now, from another computer, open up a Terminal window and type ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where those x's are the …

Googling around, I found this: http://digitalelf.net/archives/000030.html Also read 'man ftpd'

Thank you very much. I ended out not needing to have it but I have printed off this article for future (probably very soon) reference. I might even take a look at it once I repl…

I've set up MySQL, PHPMyAdmin, and Apache 2 on a server of mine, but that's not the problem; I'm having problems with accessing MySQL from machines other than the server itself. A…

Errr... fixed it. The problem was with the "bind-address" directive in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. I had figured it was a networking thing because I could only connect from the host itsel…

Very cool. I was wondering if you'd had the needed port blocked or restricted in the router, but this is much better. What router are you using?

I have moved to a new location. At my old home I had high speed cable internet access & I used an Airport base station for wireless access. At my new home we've got ADSL hig…

Easy part first: The correct order for reconnecting your network stuff is this: modem router other. That's also the order for powering the items up. Connect everything first, the…

Actually, Glenn, it is the base station doing the connection. Apple's Airport base stations all transmit the connect time to the client computers (displayed in the menu bar in Mac …

Tooki, since I have not used dialup in (sheesh! that's a long time), and never with a Mac, I hadn't seen this in action. (I'm glad I guessed right about the function!) Is it a fu…

Hi. How can I open UDP ports in Airport Extreme Base Station ? Thanks.

Hey guys and girls, just installed some wireless gear i had spare into my G5 pm and my sony vaio laptop, they are belkin 54g cards, my problem is that i can get it all working fine…

Ok, your post is confusing. Are you telling us you put a belkin 54g card in your PM5 ? Do you have the correct drivers ? Are you connecting through a wireless router, or directly …

there is a belkin 54g card in the g5, its automatically installed and works fine (apart from the security part...) i am trying to connect just between the pc and the pm hope that…

As Turtle said, your original post is confusing. Sentences are our freind. Anyway, security on a computer-to-computer network is a dicey proposition. There are a lot of factors …

thanks for the tips so far and apologies for the first post, i have been trying to get this working for quite a few hours! just to make sure im not going crazy i installed the pci…

An easy to use, though probably not very effective, hex key is simple to make. Just enter zeros until it won't take any more. Zeros are hex digits, so they will work, but they pr…

finally! thanks for the help guys, but it turned out i needed to tick the "network authentication (shared mode)" box, ticked it and it connected straight away with security enabled…
